When it comes to button-up shirts, there are a few staples every man should incorporate into his wardrobe. Each can be styled multiple ways to take you from the office to a night out with friends. I’ve rounded up my picks here and tried to keep them affordable if you’re in need of most or all of them. Either way, you’ll earn Cash Back at Ebates while shopping for all the best products, so your bank account will thank you.
If you don’t have a gingham shirt in your closet, now’s the time to fix that. This classic pattern is casual enough for a weekend wear but sophisticated enough for a date night. Pair it with chinos or jeans if you’re heading to the office. If you’re really trying to dress it up, a blazer and a solid tie will go a long way.

Check button-up shirts are a staple every man should have in his arsenal. They’re available in nearly every color these days, so you should have several in your wardrobe to rotate through. (I wear one about twice a week.) Roll up your sleeves and tuck it in at the office or leave it untucked if you’re running errands around town. You’ll look good either way.

Stripes do a lot for your look, including making you look slimmer (if the stripes are vertical). I prefer shirts with thin stripes, because they’re easier to dress up or down. Shirts with larger stripes often feel too casual, but a subtle, fine stripe can add a little punch to your ensemble without stealing the show.

When in doubt, stick with a solid-color or white button-down shirt. White shirts are a little harder to incorporate into a casual outfit, but it’s much easier if you find one with texture. Not sure where to start or what color to pick? Every guy needs a blue oxford button-up. In fact, you should probably have a few shades of blue at the ready.

You don’t have to reserve your linen for hot summer days. A solid linen shirt can transform your look, especially as fall approaches. This one, from American Rag, would go nicely with some Red Wing boots and dark jeans. It’d look just as nice with tailored trousers and brogues.

Plaid is everywhere, so you need a statement piece like this one from Express to stand out. Any of the three colorways will make an impact, but the purple is my pick. It’s a nice shirt that’s safe enough for the boardroom if it’s accompanied by cap-toe shoes (with a belt to match) and a subdued tie.

Think paisley is hard to pull off? It can be depending on the color and how large the print is, but this option from Croft & Barrow is subtle and tasteful. Save this shirt for special occasions, and try to work it into your office attire. It’s sure to make an impression either way.

Checks, stripes and solids are classics, but it’s 2017, so feel free to experiment with new patterns. I found this geometric button-up shirt, and I had to pick it up. It could change the entire look of your favorite suit if you style it correctly. A solid tie is key here to avoid making your look too busy.

Those in the plus-size category know how challenging it can be to find the perfect pair of jeans. Thankfully, the fashion industry has evolved to include plenty of options perfectly tailored to fit curvier frames. These jeans are specifically designed to flatter your best assets without being uncomfortable, too baggy or otherwise ill-fitting. Below, we break down five body types and the best fits for each.
You Have: A defined waistline and a full bust and hipline
Balance your hipline by choosing pants with a flared or wide leg. Try these jeans by NYDJ. The crisscross panel flattens and lifts an ample behind. The flare is flattering for a fuller leg.
Barbara Boot-Cut Jeans
from NYDJ
You Have: Broad shoulders, a full bust and slender hips, butt and legs
This body type looks best in a style that shows off slim legs. Wear a looser silhouette up top and keep the look straight and narrow for your lower half. A great pick is a pair of skinny jeans with a bit of stretch for extra comfort.

[ebatesads id=”in-post”]
You Have: A smaller upper body (slim shoulders and arms), a defined waistline and pronounced hips
Your legs are one of your best assets, and a great pair of jeans will help show them off. Look for a trouser style (wider legs) or a pair with a slight flare to help balance out your proportions. You can also experiment with cropped or frayed styles that look smart paired with flirty heels.

from Singer22
You Have: Narrow shoulders, curvy hips and thighs, and an ample behind
Pear is one of the most common body types for plus-size women. Play up your assets by flaunting them in a snug-fitting style. Look for a slim fit with a bit of stretch, which will maximize your shape. Accessorize with a pair of heels to elongate your legs.
Curvy Ridley Skinny Jeans
from ASOS
You Have: A waistline fuller than your hips and bust, and perfectly proportionate lower legs, chest and face
People with a diamond body type look amazing in flat-front styles. Show off your gams in straight or boot-cut styles. You’re also one of the only plus-size body types who look perfect in a pair of capris, like this pair of boyfriend-style jeans.
A bold lip can improve your life. Not only is it an instant pick-me-up, but it’s also an easy, commitment-free way to change up your look without spending a fortune. And you don’t even have to splurge on department-store lines. Our favorite under-the-radar brands offer cosmetics that cost less than a latte. Here, five new companies to consider.
MAC Cosmetics has a cult following, and it’s easy to see why. The edgy makeup company delivers on both classics (just ask fans of their cult-classic red lipstick, Ruby Woo) and trends (like their Good Luck Trolls, RiRi Hearts and Barbie collections) in a fun, spirited way. Get your fix the cheap way with NYX Cosmetics. This line, available at CVS and Walgreens, features slick packaging and amazingly bold shades of super-pigmented matte lipsticks. Smart swap: NYX Professional Makeup Dose of Dew Face Gloss ($9) instead of MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish Highlighter ($33).
Stila is the reigning favorite for gorgeous shimmers, metallics and sheer eye shadows. Kitten, a soft, pretty pink, is a makeup-artist staple. The packaging is simple yet pretty, and the quality is makeup-artist worthy. For a more affordable fix, check out e.l.f. Cosmetics. Everything is less than $30, including the fan-favorite glimmering eye shadows. Smart swap: e.l.f. Cosmetics Baked Eye Shadow Trio ($1.60) instead of Stila Eye Shadow Trio in Gold Glow ($12).
From orange-red Heat Wave to shocking pink Schiap, NARS Cosmetics consistently creates the best bold lipsticks. However, at almost $30 a pop, they aren’t exactly a cheap thrill. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) is well-known for its Lip Tar. The super-pigmented tubes are available in intense shades and mini sizes. Smart swap: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Stained Gloss in New Wave ($9.50) instead of NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Place Vendome ($26).
If you’re addicted to palettes, chances are you know about Too Faced. The Peach Glow compact is super popular, and the adorable packaging (Sweethearts Bronzer, Chocolate Soleil) is a step up from your basic bronzers. A line you might not already know is Barry M. Popular in the United Kingdom, the brand specializes in neutral palettes. It also sells fun swivel-up blush sticks, glitter pots and cheap lipsticks. Smart swap: Try Barry M’s Contour Kit ($11.50) instead of Too Faced’s Cocoa Contour Chiseled to Perfection ($42).
Clinique is a classic for simple packaging and products perfect for sensitive skin. Its Dramatically Different Foundation is one of the most beloved beauty products of all time. Drugstore line Physicians Formula has a similar mission statement, but offers products that are a fraction of Clinique’s prices. Physician’s Formula specializes in cosmetics for people with allergies. Find eye shadow palettes for less than $12 and glosses for less than $10. Smart swap: Try Physicians Formula Nude Wear Touch of Glow Foundation ($15) instead of Clinique’s Even Better Makeup SPF 15 ($28).
Blame it on the weather, laziness or an unfavorable trip to the salon — bad hair days happen, and they happen to the best of us. But whether you’re bummed out about your bangs or annoyed over frizz, there’s a solution for every problem. Below, nine fixes to banish your bad hair days forever.
This style looks cool, and it’s super easy to master. Mist your hair with a texturizing spray before plaiting to help the pieces grip each other and stay in place. Then pin it behind your ear with two bobby pins fixed in an X shape.
While your hair is still damp, gather it into two sections. Form two braids and let the hair “cook” for 20 minutes. The style will coax your hair into soft, loose waves free of fuzz.
Half-up styles give your hair structure with minimal effort, and they instantly work to brighten your face. To master the look, section out the top layer of your hair and fasten it with a hair tie.
You don’t have to wash your hair every day. Before going to bed, douse it with dry shampoo. The product will soak into your hair while you sleep so you can wake up, style and go.
Sometimes you want to play with your hair’s natural volume with a more natural look. To take advantage of the fuzziness, flip your head upside down and fluff the hair around the nape of your neck with your hands or a hair pick. This builds body from underneath.
Before you put on your hat, flip your hair over to the opposite side on which you normally wear your hair. Switch it again when you take off the hat.
Anyone with bangs knows the awkward grow-out stage. You can’t make it in for a trim quite yet, but your bangs are in your face. Embrace bobby-pin art. Instead of just sticking them in wherever, make the look purposeful with a cross design.
Try using hairspray on the underside of the roots, let it dry and then run your hands through to add volume. You can also use a blow-dryer, flipping your hair over to add a boost.
The only way to get rid of an unsightly ponytail bump is to wet your hair or to apply heat. If you don’t have the time to mess with it, you can opt instead for a double ponytail. Leave the top section out while gathering the back into a pony, secure it with elastic, add in the front section and secure it with a second elastic.
Pantone has revealed the color of the year to be Greenery, a cheery yellow-green hue in the spirit of nature, matcha tea and fresh springtime grass. According to Pantone’s execs, the color symbolizes the reconnection we seek with each other, nature, and a larger purpose. As if that wasn’t inspiration enough, studies have linked green to creating peaceful vibes, improving attention spans and even increasing feelings of happiness. Celebrate the shade with your Ebates discounts, and shop these seven favorite finds below.
Your favorite flavors will taste even better when enjoyed out of this shiny steel bowl with a heart-shaped spoon.

When you think of even the most expensive, statement-making sneakers, you undoubtedly picture casual settings. We’re here to bust you out of that box and show you a few ways you can dress sneakers up for anything from weddings to workouts.

Pairing a dress sneaker, which is just a dress shoe built for comfort, with a suit is always a good idea. However, if you’re tired of playing it safe and you’re craving a sportier look even on special occasions, try a clean, white leather sneaker like these Stan Smith Adidas.
Above all, keep it low-top and tailor your pants for minimal pooling at the ankles for a crisp yet bold look. Depending on your dress code, this could be perfect for those days you go directly from office to outing.
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/346214290089253104/
There is perhaps nothing easier and more chic than an all-black aesthetic. For this edgy street-style look, go with fitted black denim and an all-black shoe like these Vans Atwood sneakers.
Remember to opt for no-show ankle socks in black. An unexpected pop of white throws the whole thing off balance. Now you have a casual sneaker outfit Kanye himself would covet.
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/349732727296837305/
If those spring and summer weddings are already taking over your calendar, at least you have multiple opportunities to try a bright sneaker. Colorful Converse, like these All-Star Ox sneakers, are fantastic for non-black-tie weddings, and they will give your jacket and pants an instant pop.
When selecting a color for your sneakers, go with one that will match your outfit’s level of loudness. If you’re wearing tan, go for pastels. Match jewel tones with jewel tones and primary colors with primary colors.
